• "Behind the Scenes: Microsoft, Open Source and Cloud Computing": Gianugo Rabellino | Linux 2011 Portugal event keynote

  Oct 08, 2011 at 2:14 PM

  Hi Gianugo Rabellino, thanks for the talk!

  I have a question, though: what's your take on the whole Microsoft suing (or not, most cases are discreetly settled) Android manufacturers.  I have read that Microsoft sued based on a patent on parallel loading of background images in a browser (basically meaning that MS can sue any browser maker!)

  Disclaimer: I'm just an open-source open-standrads fanbaby.

  1) A really, really (to use the language of this conference) great presentation, the best IMO of build.

  2) Wake me up when the blend tool will be web-based [That's not to say that i don't envy you, it's a great tool!]

  A Question for you guys  I could not find the answer to anywhere. What about the Mac port of the 3D API? Is it in the schedule?

  @Clint: I meant: is 3d supported on the Mac. I think the answer is not right now, and I wanted more info about this, hence the question about directx

  I have a question re Silverlight 3D, i hope maybe you could help. Is it relateded to DirectX? and more importantly, is it supported on the Mac?

   

  Thx

• Script#: Compiling C# to JavaScript using Visual Studio

  It's funny to compare GWT's team size with Script#'s. Just shows who knows the web. 

  No offense to nikhil, good job.

  One of the premier language authors in the WORLD?

  Ahm, no offense, but I disagree. Making a kitchen sink language, which will soon become self-aware? Soon parsing C# will be intractable

  Bring on IE 10. Die Firefox and Chrome and Opera.

  

  Google I/O circa 2009 (2 web-years before mix11): web-standards are good for all. Go HTML5. Open up the web. get as many people on the web. etc. (also tips on how to speed up the web)

  Mix2011: See the above quote. Even though this is just the view of one fanboi, i think it sums the view of others beside him, mybe even of the presenter.

• Checking In: Eric Lippert - On Compiler Evolution, Designing C# and Blogging

  Apr 07, 2011 at 12:55 AM

  Are you guys following the Go language? If so, what's your opinion on it. It seems to take quite the opposite approach to the kitchen sink. Minimalistic language with an explicit design goal of fast compilation. Here are some points:

  • It's compiled, no VM
  • Has GC
  • Not your usual standard class-based
  • Aiming for simple spec, and implementaion
  • No operator overloading, and currently no generics
  • Concurrency built-in
  •  Two of its creators are Rob Pike and Ken Thompson (f-n exclamation mark)

  Here's a question i'm extremely interested in hereing Doug Crockford's opinion about: He seems to diss GWT,  can he expand on that? To me GWT is very high-tech, involving compiler optimization, and i heard a few MS-fans begging Microsoft to do something similar in dotnet.
